This will not work. fdisk cannot recognize linux-made partitions....
it will not work. 

Instead, start the install of linux from the boot diskette. At the
time you can use disk druid, or THEIR fdisk, do so and then kill all
linux-based partitions. Once done and saved, simply reboot the PC. Do
not get anything installed. Simply reboot. You will end up with an
empty disk. Boot DOS, run the usual FDISK and create whatever you
wanna have.....
